Snow Pea & Carrot Salad with Miso-Tamari Dressing

Description:

Perk up your dinner salad by tossing greens with snow peas, carrots and a tangy dressing.

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons canola oil

1 tablespoon red or yellow miso, (see Tip)

1 tablespoon cider vinegar

1 tablespoon reduced-sodium tamari, or soy sauce

1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger

8 cups torn red or green leaf lettuce

2 cups trimmed and halved snow peas, (about 6 ounces)

2 medium carrots, shredded

Preparation:

1

Whisk oil, miso, vinegar, tamari (or soy sauce) and ginger in a large bowl until well combined. Add lettuce, snow peas and carrots; toss to coat.

Tips:

Tip: Miso is fermented soybean paste; aged for up to 3 years, miso is salty, but a little goes a long way. Look for it in the refrigerated section of natural-foods stores or well-stocked supermarkets near the tofu. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 year. Add to soups and sauces for an extra hit of rich flavor.
